PSG Faces Injury Crisis Despite Perfect Start to Season

As the season kicks off with a remarkable start, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) finds itself grappling with a wave of injuries that threaten to disrupt their momentum. On the heels of five consecutive victories, including a hard-fought win against Girona in the Champions League, the team is now facing a challenging schedule compounded by the absence of key players. During a recent press conference, head coach Luis Enrique expressed his concerns over the team’s injury woes.

Injury Concerns Plague PSG

Despite a strong performance on the field, the PSG squad is dealing with significant injury setbacks. The latest casualty is Marco Asensio, who suffered a thigh injury during the match against Girona and was substituted for Randal Kolo Muani. Asensio’s injury adds to the growing list of sidelined players, which includes Gianluigi Donnarumma, Gonçalo Ramos, Lucas Hernandez, and Presnel Kimpembe. This situation is undoubtedly a source of frustration for Luis Enrique.

“We are like a little family, we all suffer”

In a press briefing held ahead of their upcoming match against Reims on Saturday at 9 PM, Luis Enrique addressed the injury crisis, stating, “Injuries are part of football. We are like a little family, we all suffer”. His remarks highlight the camaraderie within the team, even as they navigate the challenges posed by their current circumstances.
